LONDONDERRY (AP) — Police are crediting two good Samaritans with helping pull a man to safety from a burning car.

Londonderry police received a report shortly after 6 a.m. Saturday of a single-car accident resulting in a fire. When police arrived, they found Earl Wickline of Londonderry trying to put out the fire with an extinguisher he'd gotten from a neighborhood resident.

Police say Wickline, along with Apryl Norris of Londonderry and three Londonderry police officers eventually pulled the driver out of the vehicle.

The driver was flown by helicopter to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. His condition was unavailable Saturday and his identity hasn't been made public.
